Climate

Post by Ripratri » Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:16 am -1100

Hej Christian!
I’m working with a passive house project in Gothenburg.
I have a problem (Error) when I use Gothenburg like a “Climate” from database using WUFI Plus (Scope: Passive house verification). How can I fix the problem?
The same case is not a problem if I use WUFI plus like scope…

Hi Ripratri,

WUFI Plus and WUFI Passive Scopes use different types of climate files. The climate files that are included in the WUFI Database are hourly data and thus are only useable for WUFI Plus scope. Due to WUFI Passive not using hourly but monthly climate data, different climate files and informations are needed. You can enter the necessary data by hand or import from .txt and .xls files. To obtain these files/information you can use for example Meteonorm. You can also save WUFI Passive climate data to the database, once you've obtained the necessary data.

Further information can be found in the Passive Manual, or in the tutorial movie.

Greetings
Matthias
